You just have to make sure to match the gift to the person that you’re giving it to right?

Hardison: “Definitely. You don’t want to give someone who lives in an apartment complex a gardening set.”

Al (KCOL): “Or a Great Dane dog!”

Hardison: “Right! You know what I mean? It’s just, sometimes people just give gifts just to check it off their list when they’re really not thinking about what they’re actually doing. So it’s a really good idea to keep in mind who’s actually getting the re-gift in the first place.”

And the key to good re-gifting is, according to Hardison, is to be stealthy enough that the gift recipient has NO IDEA that you’re re-gifting.

According to Consumer reports, 36 percent of Americans plan on re-gifting this year. That’s up 5 percent from the previous year!

It’ll make you think twice this Christmas when you open your gifts!

Are they first-hand gifts? Or are your friends and family just really stealthy re-gifters?!
